    I've been saying that for years. There was about 4:47 left on the clock when Julio Jones made the ridiculous catch at the NE 22 yard line. They then lost a yard on a running play, got sacked for 12 yards, then penalized for 10 yards, pushing them back to the NE 45 yard line with 3:38 left and the score 28-20.

     

    All they had to do was run it twice more, burning clock to the 2 minute warning, or making NE burn all of their time outs, before kicking the field goal to make it 31-20. I put that more on Shanahan, not Quinn, since he was calling the plays.

     

    An 11 point lead with about 2 minutes left and NE needing not only a TD/2 pt convert, but also a FG, and not having all of their time outs would have left a very different outcome.

     

    I can never help but think what the story about NE/Belichick/Brady and their 6 titles would be if Pete Carroll and Kyle Shanahan hadn't both lost their minds in the clutch in those Super Bowls....

    It was mind boggling how the Falcons let it slip away. Ryan could have knelt for 3 downs, kick the FG and let time run out. If I were HC I would have gone over to Kyle and told him "Uh, Kyle......"

    I know we love it when our divisional rivals get bounced, but the AFC divisional round is looking a lot more compelling than the NFC's right now. Stroud vs Lamar and KC at Buff just is more interesting than GB vs SF and Tampa vs Det, personally.

     

    I thought SF was going to go to the SB regardless. However, I think back to the 91 Skins, and one of the reasons the greatness of the team gets forgotten even by Skins fans is the lack of a win against a signature NFC opponent at the time. Even though we demolished the Bills in the midst of their SB run, neither Atlanta nor Detroit did anything of significance otherwise back then. Of course SF will take their SB appearance or win (if it happens) regardless, but somehow it won't feel the same. I know they thumped Philly in the regular season, but was looking forward to seeing them do it again in the postseason.

     

     

    Good points. It does seem like the teams we had to beat in '91. Even though that year was unlike any other watching the Skins, I was still for some reason worried about both of those teams in the post season. I guess it's because no one expected us to lose to Dallas that year. But yeah, if I was offered only 2 games to watch this week it would be AFC.

    What a great post season it’s been so far.  

    All mine came in except Miami. 

    The Eagles were so good from the start of the season that I can't believe their implosion. The crappy Cardinals, Giants and now this. It's as if the football gods didn't want to hear their crappy fight song anymore this year. It is the worst. Love watching Lurie all dejected and confused.
